Social Groups for XenForo 1.x [Deleted]

[Snog]

These are not saving or changing at all =\

I also just uploaded a new image completely and it went back to the one prior to this update =\

I can't duplicate this at all. Every banner I upload gets changed.

Is it possible for me to get access to your site/server?

 

[Zynektic]

I can give you access to my site but the server, I have the details but I do not manage those, MattW does and he's flying back to the UK.

Well, let's try that. Maybe I can spot something.

 

[Zynektic]

Sure, let me make an account, I'll PM it.

Zynephix's problem appears to be a server setting problem. Files aren't able to be overwritten once they are uploaded. We'll know more on Monday when his server admin is back and available.

Can you support to import group from XFA - Social Groups 1.7.1?

Since I don't have the program and I don't have a database to work off of, that wouldn't be possible.

There is an issue with this latest update.

Any newly created Guilds will allow any usergroup to view their forums even if the group is set to private. If you see the attached screenshot it shows a new post 'Notice of Absence' to my guest account on phone and I can go in and view it if I have a direct URL it will bypass the privacy setting.

I confirmed it also shows for all usergroups as my test normal user account can do the same. Whether 'New Posts' feature of XF 1.5 is showing private stuff or not with a direct URL I can still bypass it with usergroups.

I removed the New Posts widget for now so they have no direct URL. If they go to the group it does require them to join but direct URL they can view a thread.

I can't duplicate this using 1.5 Beta 3
Are ALL users registered users on your site and additional user groups are added to that?

 

[Zynektic]

Yes, my default usergroup is Registered and only these have options configured, the others are not set other than the limits on groups you can join/create.

I will go through the setup again later but nothing has changed since the initial install a month or so back and the initial categories are configured correctly.

The group IS private if you go to it, but that link should be private as the group was and it allowed me to go onto it and read it as a guest/registered user. As said, I removed the New Posts widget for now and that is the only new group since updating, no other posts showed up.

I'll test it later, cheers.

When I test it, the new post in a new group is not visible to unregistered users. And if they try to accress the thread directly they are prompted with the 'You must be logged in to do that' screen. Which is the way it should be.

When you upgraded did you upload the files to your server AND import the XML? If not, you should have. I'm not talking about the last time I had you just upload files, but the original upgrade.

 

[Zynektic]

I did the initial XML and when you updated the files for the @@ which was missing I did not use that XML as you said not to.

My configuration is:-

Guild Forums - (Main Category
- Asia
- Europe
- Global

Those three sub-categories are configured in the social group options.

Set the default category permissions (main category) for registered and unregistered users the
way you want them to be.

What do you recommend these be set to minimum?

Really anything you want. I don't touch them for the categories. They are all set as inherit.

 

[Zynektic]

Unregistered is set to not able to see groups, in the main category I also revoked the permissions for view threads and few thread content and on my phone it shows the thread in New Posts block added in XF 1.5 and I can view the content.

I just went through the readme, configured it all correctly which was done anyway including the 777 on the appropriate folders, my category permissions were all "Not Set" but I put them for Unregistered to revoke on not view thread and not view thread content and in the add-on permissions, they cannot see groups.

In that New Posts widget it shows the 'Notice of Absence' thread which should be hidden as its a private group and they can view the content as a guest (at least I can on my phone).

Also, just to confirm, registered cannot see the 'New Posts' thread now, did not edit anything so not sure what went on there but it gives an error if I try to view a thread so it is just an issue for unregistered users.

Note: I also modified your test account to allow you to view add-ons, options, permissions and nodes for when you get a chance tomorrow, cheers.

 

[Zynektic]

Okay...I just went through all permissions again and saved them (I altered one permission then changed it back and hit save) and now it is all working as expected.

Does not explain how a guest could view a thread in a private forum though =\

I wish I could have had a look before it started working again for you. That way I could answer why it didn't work. If if happens again, please let me take a look at it before changing anything.

But I am glad it's working for you now.

Hi Snog,

Is there a way to modify the text font/size and center it on groups, the text under banners (attachment shows it),

Thanks!

That's an actual XF style property so you don't want to change it in the XF templates because you'll change it everywhere. You need to edit my templates to change it.

Edit the 'snog_socialgroups_index' and 'snog_socialgroups_index_categories' templates. Locate the '<div class="explain" lines (there are multiple lines with that) and add text-align:center; to the style= part. If there isn't a style= part, add it.

 

[Zynektic]

Cheers mate!

I just updated to the latest version and I'm having a weird issue when uploading banners. I changed the banner size to 350x75px. When I upload a .jpg banner, it loads the new version correctly. However, if I try to upload a .png banner, it just reverts to the original png banner.

1. There was a 220x80 .png banner already uploaded
2. I uploaded a 350x75 version of the same .png banner (this was the same one that had been originally uploaded, before we had the ability to set banner sizes)
3. The banner showing up on the site was still the 220x80 banner
4. I uploaded a .jpg version and the new banner loaded correctly and at the new 350x75 banner size.
5. I uploaded a totally different .png image and it reverted back to the original 220x80 .png banner

All of this was done with the banner on a single group.
